PR&R were way ahead of their time! I'll always remember Drake Levin and Phil "Fang" Volk's Pony dance steps as much as Mark Lindsay's rockin' vocals. Smitty's drummin and of course the Ring Master Paul Revere with his 3 pointed hat pulled down over his eyes and that silly grin. When they were on Where the Action Is after shcool, everything was put on hold until that classic show was over. No exceptions! Their music and videos are just as cool now as they were then.

Love that Beach Boy/Barbar shop quartet harmony. Written by the Raiders and my favorite song from 1966!

I've always thought they were great!

One of the best bands of the sixties. I don't care if a number of their songs were closer than first cousins.

@jhnstn1 I do. I gave you a thumbs up and the Raiders a big thanks for being such a great group!

Back in the dorm at the University of Illinois, 1966, Paul Revere and the Raiders were a favorite. They seemed just a bit more polished and musically talented than many other bands of the day. Great post.

I was 9 when this came out. What a great time for rock and top 40. We loved rock music and top 40. Where did the time go?

where the action is [60s teenshow], iwas about 8, they hosted that showon channel 7, any body remember?



The 5 note intro still grabs me every time, more than 40 years after I first heard it. It is kind of like that little ditty from the space ship in Close Encounters of the Third Kind for me. It has a metaphysical pull. The Raiders also had post punk quality . Way ahead of their time. Where the Action Is was way to cool for school.

My favorite song of theirs. Love the awesome harmonizing! Every bit as good as say, The Beach Boys or anybody else. Thanks for the high sound quality. Sounds great! :)
